My Take
Chad Mendes impresses me as the real, wrestling-forged article. He sharpened his base as a collegiate wrestler at Cal Poly before becoming a top featherweight in mixed martial arts, and now he competes in bare-knuckle boxing, about the most stripped-down combat there is. What I respect most is his appetite for reinvention; rather than fading after MMA, he threw himself into a brutal new arena. The detail that his official site looks like a fishing and outdoors brand only makes him more human to me, a warrior with a quieter side. Fighters with a solid foundation always earn my trust.
